My requirements:
- Support .NET Compact Framework 2.0 and Windows Mobile 6.0 devices.
- Only need to unzip the contents to a directory on a storage card. Creation of zip files is not required.
- Must be able to use in corporate/commercial software.
- Can be open source, but not have GPL or other viral license.
I’ve seen the Xceed Zip for CF library. What other options are there?
Have a look at #ziplib (www.icsharpcode.com). It’s GPL, but you can use it in closed-source, commercial applications. They don’t say anything specifically on their page about using it with the Compact Framework, so you’d have to give it a test yourself (that said, it’s pure C# without any external dependencies, so the chances are somewhat good that it will work).
